Hi...and thank you for asking this question...I too would like an answer. I just finished my regimen 8 weeks ago (had my double mastectomy 6 weeks ago), and I am suddenly experiencing A LOT of excruciating bone/joint pain! I wake in the mornings and it hurts to make a fist and even get out of bed! I developed neuropathy in my feet as a result of the Taxol I was on but I had yet to experience anything quite like this joint pain! I am a teacher, and on my feet all day, and I need to find some relief!! I am going to talk with my oncologist and look into anti-inflammatory diets, etc. but something's gotta give! I'm 37...and I feel like I'm 77! Any other tips/advice would be appreciated!
